using something like Mastodon is no harder than signing up for X or Facebook. The difference is you won’t be treated like a product, you’ll be treated like a person.

I like this. I might reuse it.

Let me propose “Spinner” because we’re making thread.

Example : feddit.org users are Spinner.

I got a better one if you understand french : pivert.

Pie lovers but we are lemmings.

Let’s not forget there is a lot of documentation written english by people who are not as fluent as they wish they be.

I read the manual for every appliance I have. I do man and help even before using the command. I look for multiple articlse explaining the how and why before doing something new with my computer and yet when I look for help many tech people are condescendingly telling me to read the doc. Well, I did. But I don’t understand, because I coudn’t grasp the concept, because english isn’t my mother tongue, because many doc are written by great technician with poor writing skills that are bad pedagogues, and I would like someone to answer my question.

Very reptilian.

You can but I haven’t test it recently enough to tell you exactly how it work on the lastest software versions.

If you wan to test things for yourself, here’s a dedicated community : !testfediverse@jlai.lu

Try again after following the account that post. Having someone from your instance following a remote user is the best way to insure proper federation of content in the fediverse.

That may be a federation issue. Are both accounts on the same instance?

Fortunately, the current teenagers are much more aware of the danger than past generations. In my time, many teens thought parents just did not understand modernity and were panicking over nothing. The cyber-bulling and addiction to social media kept growing but at least the young generation has awareness.

I much as I want to introduce my family to the fediverse, I will not. Except for Mastodon maybe. Way to many creeps. Tech-savy, free-tech supporter creeps but creeps anyway. My parents did the same to me at a time when all my peers were into mobile phone and not like today’s kids realising how bad it can be. I turned out fine and more knowledgable about the technolgies I did choose to use than average. I wish my parenst have keep supervising me for one or two more years more.
Keep parenting.

Well at least on the internet, you can write.

Dommage pour toi (^_-)

Even if a group is public, if the feature was well-made, replies to a post posted in a group are usually seen by griup members only. Or, if the thread itself is opened.

I did not understood that thank you for the clarification.

Edited. Thank you for that and the explanation.

Communities can be moderated Good point.

Does moderation action fediverse well from Lemmy to the twittoverse?

Honestly, I tried to understand them but I failed. I don’t see how a group, from the twittoverse perspective is different from the use of a hashtag, be it agupe group or Lemmy community.

But I would love to hear your explanation and pass it on to the next people who will not understand it.
